Horizons

By Michael Vlasek

Dr. Ian McDonnell unexpectedly finds himself treating a ghost. A man who disappeared into the mud flats of Roebuck Bay in Broome, Australia, on the night of the mystical Staircase to the Moon has returned two years later looking like he has found the legendary Fountain of Youth. He has also somehow been cured of the same fatal illness afflicting Ian's father, and Ian isn't sure of what to make of his patient's strange story as he lapses in and out of consciousness offering glimpses of where he has been while insisting that he must go back to be with his beloved. Suddenly, it appears Ian has a chance to save his father, if he is able to believe in the seemingly impossible and take a risky leap of faith to try to reach another plane of existence.When the man unexpectedly bolts from the hospital and disappears again, Ian must decide if his patient's incredible story is true before it's too late to save his father. And as he digs deeper into the unusual circumstances behind the man, he uncovers more clues hinting there is a Shangri-La world awaiting him if he would only open his eyes to its possibility. However, the doorway to this realm is filled with potentially dangerous misconceptions and another magical secret which will push and test Ian to the limits of his beliefs. It will leave him on the night of the mystical Staircase to the Moon wondering who he is and what is real, especially when he meets a beautiful woman who only further deepens the mystery he's chasing for his father and, ultimately, for himself, if he wants to live and learn the amazing truth.
